    Memtest86

    I need to launch Memtest86+ at startup of my Proxmox machine. I manage to add it to Grub, but then I don't know how to add it to systemd-boot. I do "proxmox-boot-tool refresh" and only available kernels are added, not Memtest86+. Any ideas?

    Moving VMs Between Different Hosts

    Hey all, I normally use the host CPU option when setting up VMs (for best performance). This has worked great for me so far. I have recently setup another host server and set them up in a cluster. The new host has different hardware to the previous servers, so now I have Intel and AMD...

    VM Crashing - Out of Memory

    Hi, I have a VM that crashes every 10 days or so. I initially attributed the issue to something in Windows Server 2012R2. I wrote a little script to check status on this VM every 30 seconds, and restart it (and email me) if it crashes. The script just uses this: qm list|grep $VM_NAME |grep...

    Anormal ram usage

    Hello, I just installed my Proxmox server. I have a strange phenomenon. The installation is brand new, I have no VMs started and I have constant ram usage at 18Go. Would this be normal behavior with ZFS using available ram to cache? If so, is it quite disturbing because we do not know how to...

    Trying to understand LXC RAM and SWAP allocation

    I have a workstation with 256 GB RAM, and by default the host has only 8 GB SWAP. With the two LXCs I have, as they can potentially use a lot of RAM, I committed 192 GB RAM and 64 GB SWAP to both. My question is, in a situation where both LXC reaches a high usage and they consume more than 256...
